Macchi C.202 Fighter

The Macchi C.202 Folgore was an Italian fighter developed from the C.200 with a liquid-cooled Daimler-Benz engine built under license in Italy. Its improved performance made it an important Regia Aeronautica fighter in North Africa and other theaters. Armament remained relatively light compared with some contemporary opponents, despite the aircraft’s strong handling reputation. Italian production of licensed engines connected domestic aircraft design with German powerplant technology. The C.202 retained a recognizable relationship with Macchi’s earlier fighter while achieving a major performance improvement. Its service history shows how engine availability could influence an air force as decisively as the aerodynamic quality of the airframe itself.
